The Food Recovery Challenge is a national effort under the EPA's Sustainable Materials Management Program challenging businesses to reduce the amount of food sent to landfills and incinerators. More than 35 million tons of food waste was generated in 2012, 95 percent of which was thrown away into landfills or incinerators.
